So it appears Vampire Weekend have decided to explain their recent Easter Parade foray with actor Steve Buscemi. As it turns out the Boardwalk Empire star has been tapped to direct a YouTube/Vevo livestream of the band’s upcoming performance at New York City’s Roseland Ballroom on April 28 as part of the American Express Unstaged series. For those that remember, Jack White and Gary Oldman participated in the series last year.
In an interview with Rolling Stone bassist Chris Baio says, ““Playing a hometown show is a really intense and great experience. We haven’t played a full New York show in two-and-a-half years, so we’re gonna be really well-rehearsed.” Looking to play half the tracks off their forthcoming third LP Modern Vampires of the City (out May 14 on XL Recordings) as well as familiar fan favorites, Baio went on to say that in addition to the performance Buscemi will film “bonus documentary footage” that will appear in the lead-up to the show. “He really is a great director. Growing up, I was a huge “Sopranos” fan and one of my favorite episodes is “The Pine Barrens”, which he directed. Also, I just realized this morning he directed the ‘Leap Day” episode of ”30 Rock” last year; that’s one of my favorites. I feel safe in his hands.”
